I am also a neophobic

Finally, I can put a label on my "illness". I am 58 and have very, very limited diet. I eat nearly no vegetables and no fresh fruit. I have not even tried most things but feel like I am going to be sick if I do try it. Life has been difficult in that I try to avoid going to anyone's house for dinner. I would like to visit friends in other places and stay with them but am too embarassed about my food habits. If served something I "don't like", I would not force myself to eat it and that would be rude to the host. Is there any therapy for this? Funnily enough my blood tests are very good. I do take several supplements so I guess that helps.
